So from what I can find from previous years, the HalloweenTime season is Sept. 25 through Nov. 1st or 2nd.

Then, it sounds like the X-mas festivities start Nov. 20th. When do those decorations start to go up?

We thought maybe the first week or two of November would be slower, draw less crowds, still be decent weather (I hope) without a lot of extra activities. We like the traditional park look. It would be nice to have Fantasmic on one weekend night.

Any experience with the first two weeks of November?

Are there any groups/conventions/school breaks etc. that would crowd that time frame?

Thank you

I went during the second week of November last year and there were hardly any crowds at all. The longest I waited in line was about thirty minutes. Many rides did not have any line at all. The weather was great. It was warm during the day and cool at night. The Halloween decorations were just coming down and the holiday decorations were just being put up. In my opinion, early November is a wonderful time to go.
 
The first time ever went it was the second week in November. It was not busy, and the weather was awesome. The castle was decorated and there were Christmas decorations up. I think it was a great time to go.

We usually go in mid November and in my opinion, this is the best time to go. I've been in the fall, winter, summer and spring and November, just before Thanksgiving, just after Halloween, perfect time. Perfect weather, crowds, etc. Sometimes you get lucky with the Xmas decorations, they put them up a bit early a few years back.
 

Thanks for the replies! Sounds like this would be a great time for us.
 
One more question, did they have Fantasmic! and/or fireworks on the weekends during that time frame? We would add a Friday night if they are showing.

Thanks again!
